A. There is hereby created within the State Treasury a cost-share fund for the Oklahoma Conservation Commission to be designated the "Conservation Cost-Share Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies received by the Conservation Commission to implement and maintain the conservation cost-share program.
B. The Conservation Cost-Share Fund shall consist of:
1. Money received by the Conservation Commission in the form of gifts, grants, reimbursements, donations, industry contributions, state appropriations, funds allocated by federal agencies for cost-share programs and such other monies specifically designated for the cost-share program. All monies accruing to the credit of said fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Commission for the conservation cost-share program; and
2. Interest attributable to investment of money in the Conservation Cost-Share Fund.
C. All donations or other proceeds received by the Commission pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be deposited with the State Treasurer to be credited to the Conservation Cost-Share Fund. Expenditures from the fund shall be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for approval and payment.
D. The monies deposited in the Conservation Cost-Share Fund shall at no time become part of the general budget of the Conservation Commission or any other state agency. Except for any administration costs incurred in development and implementation of the cost-share program, no monies from the fund shall be transferred for any purpose to any other state agency or any account of the Conservation Commission or be used for the purpose of contracting with any other state agency or reimbursing any other state agency for any expense.
